Spada Manufacturing produces surfboards. The company uses a normal-costing system and allocates manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct manufacturing labor-hours. Most of the company's production and sales occur in the first and second quarters of the year. The company is in danger of losing one of its larger customers, Sode Wholesale, due to large fluctuations in price. The owner of Spada has requested an analysis of the manufacturing cost per unit in the second and third quarters. You have been provided the following budgeted information for the coming year: (Click the icon to view additional information.) (Click the icon to view the budgeted information.) Read the requirements. Requirement 1 and 2. Calculate the total manufacturing cost per unit for the second and third quarter assuming the company allocates manufacturing overhead costs based on the budgeted manufacturing overhead rate determined for each quarter and an annual budgeted manufacturing overhead rate. First identify the formula to calculate the total manufacturing cost per unit, then enter the appropriate amounts to calculate the total cost per unit for second and third quarter based on the budgeted manufacturing overhead rate determined for each quarter and an annual budgeted manufacturing overhead rate for the year.

The actual direct material cost is $14.00 per board. The actual direct manufacturing labor rate is $28 per hour. The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead rate is $21 per direct manufacturing labor-hour. Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs are $12,250 each quarter. Requirements 1. 2. 3. Calculate the total manufacturing cost per unit for the second and third quarter assuming the company allocates manufacturing overhead costs based on the budgeted manufacturing overhead rate determined for each quarter. Calculate the total manufacturing cost per unit for the second and third quarter assuming the company allocates manufacturing overhead costs based on an annual budgeted manufacturing overhead rate. Spada Manufacturing prices its surfboards at manufacturing cost plus 20%. Why might Sode Wholesale be seeing large fluctuations in the prices of boards? Which of the methods described in requirements 1 and 2 would you recommend Spada use? Explain.
